Two Months Before Leaving You Chapter-20
Derrick’s POV.The restaurant was classic and dignified, a black-tie establishment where it took a small fortune to book a reservation. Jade mentioned wanting to visit the place and asked if we could get in that night itself, and I told her, “Sure, why not?”I wanted to immerse myself in the experience. Here I was, in a classy place with a beautiful woman sitting in front of me, surrounded by the finest food, beverages, and hospitality. It was everything a man could want from a date.But my mind was not there with me. I found my thoughts constantly escaping as I twirled my wine in my glass, without much of an appetite for anything. Jade was chattering away, and I forced myself to talk and laugh at all the right places. I forced myself to be calm.Yet I was far from being calm.Something just wasn’t right. There was an air of anticipation surrounding me, but for what, I had no idea. The music felt too loud, the food too salty, too spicy, too meaty, the wine too tart, the air too clammy

Kara’s POV.Jade asked me to meet her at the same place where I gave her the divorce papers, and I agreed, thankful that it happened so soon.Jade looked unbearably smug as she placed the documents in front of me, and without even greeting her, I flipped the file open.And there they were. Derrick’s signature, scrawled on the bottom of every page over the dotted line.It was done. Derrick and I were about to be done.Before I could make up my mind on how to feel about it, Jade decided to break the silence.“He couldn’t wait to sign them, you know,” she gloated, biting back a grin. “I’ve never seen a man sign a document that fast. As soon as he saw them, he nearly snatched them out of my hands. Kind of like he hated you. A lot.”She looked at me carefully, as if she was waiting for me to be hurt or upset, but I remained completely calm. Even if I was a bit hurt by her words, after all, I had loved Derrick once, I wouldn’t give her satisfaction by showing it.“So, now that it’s over,” J

Jade’s POV.After Kara stormed off yesterday, I didn’t expect her to contact me early in the morning. It was a pleasant surprise, and I immediately took the call, thinking that she was calling to grovel and ask me to give her husband back. Or she was going to apologize and get me to mellow things between her and Derrick.Well, tough luck. I didn’t expect to make things easy for her at all.“Well, well, well,” I greeted her as soon as she took the call. Derrick was not in the same room as me, so I didn’t have to pretend to be cordial. “Look who it is, early in the morning. Tired of sleeping on a park bench already?”“Hello, Jade,” Kara replied in an even voice. “I wish I don’t have to ask this, but I don’t want to see Derrick ever again, so you’re going to have to do. I’m calling to ask you to meet me at Sunset Café at about ten in the morning.”That request flabbergaste3d me.“Why?” I demanded. “So, you can grovel on person?”“No, but considering how you’re salivating after my husband

Kara’s POV.“How could you do this to Jade? Not only bullying her in my own home but hitting her as well? Tell me one reason why I shouldn’t call the police in on you right now for this!” Derrick roared, face red like a ruby, and Jade hung on his arm, sniffling.I clutched my necklace and gritted my teeth, emotions swirling within me like a hurricane. Anger was growing deep in my heart, and it was hotter than hellfire.“I-it was an a-accident…” Jade sniffled pathetically. “I didn’t m-mean to d-drop it, it just s-slipped! I was so sorry, Derrick, you have to belive me I’m s-sso sorry!”“You shouldn’t have to be, Jade, it’s an old necklace. It would’ve gotten chipped from a stiff breeze!” Derrick reasoned on behalf of his girlfriend, glaring at me for all he’s worth. “You slapped her for an accident, you monster! How can you treat your oldest friend like this? Do you have no love in your heart at all?!”Love. Look who was talking about love!I have been so patient since Jade came back.
Two Months Before Leaving You Chapter-16
Jade’s POV.So, my plan wasn’t working the way it was supposed to.I thought coming home would be smooth. I mean, I knew Derrick was married. He tried so hard to keep that under wraps, but I knew. I also knew who he married, and that surprised me, I won’t lie.But it didn’t matter in the end, because I knew Derrick. I’ve known that man since he was a boy. So, I was confident that upon my return, Derrick would see the errors of his ways and then divorce Kara without a second thought.Then he would be mine again.And Kara?Kara would be the loser once again because no matter what she did, she would never ever be able to win against me.Every time Kara found a reason to smile, I wanted to be the one to take it away from her.At first, it was so easy. Everything was going according to plan. I knew from the get-go that whatever Derrick and Kara had was not built on a foundation of love. Maybe on Kara’s part, there was love. But Derrick? Derrick despised her. Maybe there had been love in th

Derrick’s POV. I didn’t think much when I offered to buy Kara a necklace. She was wearing an old necklace when she could have had a new one, so why shouldn’t I? It looked like something she picked up from a thrift store or a flea market. Something cheap that was made to look expensive.So, yes, I offered to buy her a new one out of the goodness of my own heart.But then Kara flinched as if my words broke her out of whatever reverie she was lost in, wide eyes glaring at me with disbelief.“No thanks,” she snapped, her voice arctic cold. She tucked the necklace into her blouse, looking away from me. “I’m perfectly happy with what I have. You can focus your gift-giving attention on Jade instead, I’m sure she’d love to have a new necklace or ten.”Typical. I offered to do something nice for her, and she’d snark about it and reject me. Sometimes, I wondered why I even tried.“Whatever, see if I offer again. Come on, we’re going home.”The car ride home was silent. Kara kept stubbornly loo

Kara’s POV.I will be the first person to admit that I was attractive. I had conventionally attractive features, nice eyes, and a slim body with curves at all the right places. I had good skin that didn’t break out too often, and hair that had volume and luster.When I told people that High school was hell for me, no one believed me. They thought I was just making things up to get people to feel sorry for me.But I had my glow up after I left High School for college. Back in High school, I was basically a plainer, acne-ridden version of Little Orphan Annie.I didn’t know how everyone in school knew I was an orphan, because I did everything in my power to act like that wasn’t the case. But I guess something didn’t add up, and the student body put two and two together and then realized that the loving home I went to after school was a foster home. The foster home wasn’t bad per se, but I didn’t have parents and that sucked.Kids were cruel, and every bully in high school picked on me al

Kara’s POV.In the end, Derrick won because I just didn’t want to fight with him for the rest of the day. So, after he ordered me to cook for him, he demanded that I bring the food to his office before leaving. I’ve never done that before, so I didn’t really know what the procedure was.So, even though my whole body hurt with exhaustion, and my leg wounds throbbed, I cooked, packed, and made my way to his company building right on time, determined not to give him the chance to find a fault.I thought it would be quick, and I wouldn’t even have to see Derrick. I was going to leave the food bag with the receptionist, who would send it to Derrick.Easy.“I’m sorry, are you from Uber EATS or something?” the receptionist asked, looking at me suspiciously. “You’re not in any sort of delivery uniform.”“I, uh,” I stammered, wondering what I was supposed to tell her. “Does it matter?”“Yes, of course it matters," the receptionist said, looking at me like I was crazy for thinking otherwise. “M
Two Months Before Leaving You Chapter-12
Kara’s POV.As soon as Derrick placed me on the bed, I pulled the blanket over my body, mortified. I wished that he and Jade would leave me to get dressed in peace, but that didn’t seem to be happening.Jade loudly demanded that she clean out the bathroom and make sure I hadn’t broken any glass, and she removed herself from the bedroom for a moment.Derrick, however, did not make that much sense.“You’re so careless!” Derrick went on nagging as if he hadn’t just hauled my naked butt out of the bathroom right in front of his girlfriend. His arms were crossed as he stood next to my bed, pointedly not meeting my eyes. “Always damaging things everywhere. I might have plenty of money but that doesn’t mean I enjoy fixing things after you. First that pond, then the plates, and now this! You know, I’m starting to think that this is a childish ploy of yours to get my attention?”I gritted my teeth, refusing to answer. I desperately wished that I could towel myself off because I hated getting
